NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tax cuts that passed the Senate early on Saturday could bolster the shares of Southwest Airlines (>> Southwest Airlines Co), Apple (>> Apple), Microsoft (>> Microsoft Corporation) and Alphabet (>> Alphabet), according to a report in financial publication Barron's.

Domestic airlines like Southwest should benefit from a steep drop in the top federal corporate tax rate, according to the report.

At the same time, multinational technology companies may benefit from provisions that could lower the tax rates on foreign earnings held in cash.
